Buxton Osteopathy Clinic is one of only a handful of specialist clinics offering IDD Therapy to patients from Derbyshire, as well as Greater Manchester and Cheshire. IDD Therapy is a new technologically-advanced therapy that targets and relieves nerve pain caused by spinal disc conditions and sciatica.

IDD Therapy is commonly used to treat a slipped disc, also known as a bulging disc, herniated disc or prolapsed inter-vertebral disc. Since my whiplash injury I have an irrational fear of a facet in my neck being released, but Phil's approach puts me at ease as he treats my neck. I've been visiting Phil Heler for osteopathic treatment on and off for the past six years since moving to Buxton.

I have seen Phil for many years, and he always looks after me; often not requiring future booked appointments as the treatment has been completed. A short consultation to find out what is the main concern and he tailors the treatment as required.

Laura O'connor has treat me several times. She is personable, and makes you feel at ease ( and that is saying something as I don't do talking to people), thorough, knowledgeable, informative and thinks outside the box. She has worked outside her remint of "paid for time" to find suitable exercises to help me. And has managed my normally obtrusive personality exceptionally, to work out what is pain and not my normal " yes I'm fine" personality. 100 percent recommend!!! Thank you so much Laura xx

I have received Shock Wave Treatment for an extremely painful shoulder and it is significantly better and much less troublesome after 3-4 treatments. Phil has provided a professional and caring service in a welcoming environment. Thank you.

For my initial appointment I was able to be seen the same day. Phil and his team were friendly and caring and delivered a high level of treatment. I am well on the road to recovery now and most importantly pain free.

Having suffered for a few weeks with Sciatica to the point I couldn't walk without being in sever pain or sleep without the pain waking me up a friend gave me Buxton Osteopathy's number and recommend I book. I am so glad I did, Phil saw me very quickly and I have been having the IDD therapy which has helped no end, I am about at the end of my treatment now, my pain has virtually gone and the tingling and burning sensation I was getting constantly is no more. Phil and his team are very welcoming and very friendly and I would highly recommend them if you are in anyway suffering with joint pain.

I've been treated by Phil numerous times for a range of back and neck issues, he has always made time to see me as soon as practicable, and the treatment has always been painless and effective.
Phil is an excellent practitioner, very sensitive to other tricky physical conditions I suffer from, and as a fellow sportsman totally sympathetic to the need to get patients back in action as soon as possible!
Like other reviewers, I too have had him terminate a course of treatment earlier than expected due to a faster than expected recovery, when I would have been happy to continue attending.
